Universal Yarn Uptown Worsted Yarn

Uptown Worsted is the acrylic for people who don’t usually reach for acrylic. Spun from anti-pilling fiber and plied into a smooth, round strand, it has a soft hand, a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition, and it comes out of the washer and dryer looking the way it went in.

That makes it a dependable choice for anything that gets used hard and washed often: baby blankets, kids’ sweaters, afghans, hats, charity projects, and gifts for people who will never hand-wash. It is certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX, meaning it has been tested for harmful substances.

With more than 60 shades, from baby pastels and heathers to full-volume neons, there is plenty of room for stripes, colorwork and color-matched sets.
